Water and electricity dont mix.

Ive learnt that one the hard way, but its taken more than one lesson to get the idea. As with any class, the university of life only really helps if you go to the lectures and listen! Ive killed a video and a stills camera now though exposure to moisture. Heres the lesson notes ive picked up so far;

• be anal about keeping stuff dry
• dont turn the power on until its dried out
• waterproof technology severely hampers its functionality
• spray, rain, hands and drips off helmets are the main issues to be wary of

No doubt there will be more classes to attand as we have a new (old) video cam and Im saving for a camera. It's been really frustrating over the last few weeks with all these temperature inversions and no camera. The new one is on order from Santa. I'm gonna stick with the compact theme as SLR's are a spending race that I cant compete in, and I would lose the pocket accesibility. The new one will leave no excuses though, it will do its thing well. Its all in the operator!

this is the last shot out of that little Sony W80 - RIP

Just goes to show that experiential learning doesn't always work ;-)
